Step 1
Place the potatoes in a 4-5 quart crockpot and pour in the chicken broth.Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 - 4 hours, until the potatoes are fork tender. -
Step 2
Start to mash the potatoes with a potato masher, add the softened butter that has been cut into chunks and just 1/4 cup of the scaled milk.Continue to mash the potatoes until the butter and milk have been incorporated. Add the cream of tartar to the potatoes and just a drizzle of additional milk as needed to reach your desired consistency and finish the mashing.Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
Note
I've tried a few different ways to make and keep mashed potatoes in the crockpot and this method from Peanut Blossom is by far the best. Tiffany also offers these tips, "The potatoes can be kept warm for 2 hours on the KEEP WARM setting of your Crockpot. Be sure to stir them occasionally so they don't stick and brown to the sides of the slow cooker."
